Re: Big 12 Softball Tourney Thoughts: Play-In & Seeded Games W & TH
Kinda surprised OSU choked, but I'm guessing their luck just ran out (they spent it all in Norman). Was super glad to see the Sooners put it together and run rule Kansas. Perhaps this is the start of the real OU team showing up and making a run to the WCWS

Re: The Elephant in the Room
I think you hit it Raul - other life goals may very well be setting in for the seniors. I keep seeing posts of Jayda and Billy Bowman's engagement. Also, Brito is dating Gavin Sawchuck. I have a feeling that at least some of the seniors are well on their way to the next stages in life. I can't reall...

Re: Big 12 bracket Softball Championship
Would love to see BYU knock out OSU and have it end up with OU versus texas in the finals. I think we could beat both OSU and texas, and having just played OSU we may be really ready to take them again, but I would like to avoid it if at all possible.

Re: The Elephant in the Room
Question for the board: Has it occurred to anyone else what the impact would be/was of Kelly Maxwell having to pitch against her erstwhile teammates? The mental aspect of it? Obviously, there isn't NEARLY the mental aspect of trying to knock the socks off of a teammate who (from their perspective) ...

Re: SOONER bats wake up...
I posted on another thread, despite feeling they were dead yesterday, I’m still not giving up hope on #8 this year. We have won the first 3 a few different ways. In 21 we weren’t overly dominate in pitching but had really good offense. In 22 pitching improved quite a bit and offense was one of the b...

Re: Transfer Portal
I’m not conceding that we won’t win #8 this year despite the obvious hitting issues. Today helped restore my faith a bit. Could that be the story of this year, what looks like a down and out 3x champ team heads into postseason and returns to form to take OKC by storm and win #4 in a row? Who knows, ...

Re: The Elephant in the Room
I get the Jordy conversation and I wish she hadn’t left. And, to a certain extent, it’s the classic “what happens if the road takes a different fork”. But, had she stayed, it is unlikely Maxwell would have considered OU. OU would have still played on the same field in Mexico that Nebraska played on...

Re: Transfer Portal
I have just the opposite feeling. I think knowing that they may get immediate playing time for the top coach we will see tons of interest from other players wanting to transfer in!

Re: Bedlam Game #2
The Sooners have run up against a better team. Period. Yep. The Pokes have played better ball the last two games. Hurts to say it. We are seeing the chickens come home to roost I believe. All the games we won over the past few years by hitting that clutch HR, etc are all coming due against texas an...

Re: Bedlam Game #2
I'm not sure what the issue is - I feel like something off-field happened to the team and broke their spirits (no info just a guess). They have no fight. That is what is so frustrating. They are just deflated and have no confidence in themselves it appears. What a way for 9 great seniors to go out.....

Re: Big 12 Softball Bedlam Series: Sooner Host OSU on Fri, Sat, Sun
Love your previews 56! I'm sure it takes a lot of time to put that all together. Thank you for your insights. I know the stats look to be in OU's favor, but I'm not as optimistic as you are. We have definitely been spoiled for the past several years with historic levels of dominance & elite per...

Re: Food for Thought: LOB for the Sooners in 2024
Totally agree. As I was listening to the radio broadcast yesterday Plank mentioned it quite a few times and even Patty was all over it. Totally agree - on one hand you can't be satisfied and assume that when you really need to push across the runner in a WCWS game you will be able to. You have to al...

Re: Oklahoma Softball Hosts Tulsa @ HOF Stadium on Tuesday at 6 PM!
So, maybe Deal becomes our #2 pitcher??? I love that Deal is starting to hit her stride. I think the rotation stays Maxwell-May-Deal but it is critical to have Deal step up about now in prep for post season. Reminds me a bit of a few different years where we had the one steady pitcher, like Paige P...
